But it’s important to remember that face painting has a much deeper meaning in some cultures.
Face and body painting has a lot of meaning in some cultures. While face paintings these days are seen more as a way to express your creativity, in the old days, they were used to mark an occasion. For example, in the Paleolithic period, face paint was used as a part of an important ritual, like celebrating adulthood or mourning a loss of a family member or friend. As time went on, it was used for entertainment or as camouflage.
So, if you are not going to war and want to have innocent fun with your friends or alone, try this form of art at home. Below, we have compiled some complex and simple face paint ideas to enjoy.
